Aliens! ^0^
Aliens? When I hear that word I think of skinny, tall, big headed things I would see watching Scooby Doo. To be honest, I bet a lot of people do too, but why do we if none of us have ever seen one in real life? Aliens could look just like us or they could be slimy, sticky, smelly octopus looking things. I guess we will never know unless we work at Area 51 or something. O.o

September twenty-ninth the Minnesota Vikings won their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and it was an exciting game. Ben Roflesburger was sacked two times in the first half. Also Adrian Peterson made a few touchdowns himself. Last year Peterson set the record for the most rushing yards in a season. Even though the Vikings did not win the Super Bowl lastyear, I feel like they have a good chance this year.
By Anthony M. So before I came here I bought Tech N9ne’s newest album. It is called Something Else. In my opinion I believe it is one of his best albums. He has a song on there called “That’s my Kid” and that is my favorite song on the album. He talks about how he would do anything for his kids. And it has other people featured in it. Anyway, I give it 5 out of 5 stars! -Alonzo
Dodge Ball
Dodge Ball is really fun if you like running around trying to avoid every ball that comes flying in your direction. I don’t necessarily like the sport, but we played it yesterday in the gym and it was fun; until one of my peers took some balls to the face. But don’t worry he’s ok. And I admit I did throw one of those balls. I am sorry dude it was an accident. He is still alive. I’m sure his face hurt for a few minutes, but he is just ok. By: Treysan
Halloween is right around the corner, I can’t wait! It is such a fun holiday if you enjoy a thrill. I would definitely say Halloween is not based on scary things as much anymore. It is a time for everyone to dress however they want, and to go out and have fun with friends! I am way excited. It will be fun getting goodies and meeting new people! -Morgan May
Dear Artec,
I want to know why can we not wear hoodies in school. I think it’s kind of stupid. I think that we should wear hoodies, because it is cold in the school and some of us only have hoodies. Also we can’t afford new sweaters with no hood. If we did not put them on our heads it should be okay.

When I went and saw this movie when it first came out, I was just amazed. I love it how they do all of the different mob dances to show who they are. I like the part at the end where the cops are part of the mob. I also like the part where they do the office mob. I just love this movie. I would give this movie 5 stars.

Music Review: Bright Eyes
Conor Oberst is the singer and guitar player of "Bright Eyes" and he has a very interesting style of music. You might have heard their song “The First Day of My Life” on television. Bright Eyes is an acoustic band. Their talent is beautiful though. One of my favorite songs is “A Perfect Sonnet” which is about falling in love. They are more of an acquired taste, but I give them 5 stars.
-By Holly William Joseph William Joseph is a composer.
He started when he was young and caught the attention of a Russian pianist/composer. She took him under her wing and helped him enhance his skills. William Joseph has 3 albums out: Beyond, Within, and Be Still.
His music isn’t just piano, it has other instruments. His style is different from other composers, because it is like classic/pop or a modern classical. His music brings emotions and energies with it. I love his music SO much, especially because I’m also a composer and Love the piano.

Debate topic: The legalization of assisted suicide
I feel assisted suicide should be legalized with certain restrictions. I feel that age would have a lot to do with it as well as terminal illness and if you’re keeping a brain dead person alive. I feel it is inhumane to keep a dying person alive, if they are in pain and ask to have to plug pulled they have, in my opinion, the right to have it pulled. It is hard to see someone go through that pain, but I bet it's ten times harder being the person who is in the pain. I feel it’s only for the better for both sides of the party.

The Tall Man The Tall Man is a movie that is based on a myth that some people believe in and some do not. The myth is about a demon that is about 10ft tall with super big arms and instead of a face with eyes, mouth, and nose it is just skin and his name is The Slender Man. He is thought to hunt teenagers. There have been many disappearances that his name was mentioned and many deaths with this image carved into the bodies:
This is The Slender Man circle and is a mark that was made at the disappearances. His story also goes along with another- his name is Jeff the Killer. Jeff was picked on as a kid and almost committed suicide by drinking bleach, but ended out just bleaching his face and he is famous for saying "go to sleep".
This is Jeff; this picture was drawn to show him when he said that famous sentence “GO TO SLEEP”. He said this to a kid when he got in to his house and was found in his closet. Here is a picture of Slender man and Jeff.
Slender Man is in the background standing super tall. Jeff is the kid who appears to be running away. By. Mycha
The best movie is Blade Trinity. There are many characters in this movie. There is Blade (Wesley Snipes) Hannibal King (Ryan Renalds) Abigail Whistler (Jessica Beil) Danica Talos (Parker Posey) Dominic Purcell) Dracula Jarko Grimwood (triple H). The best thing about this movie is that most of the characters are vampires. If you like vampires you will love this movie. The vampires in this movie don’t do much they just own ¾ of Vancouver.

I wash my fears in the clouds above
I take the sky and spill my secrets
Onto its black starred surface
Many would not understand
That my heart belongs
To the lights projected from space.
But many would believe
Their soul was once an object
In the beauty of the night.
The moon buries her stories
Into my listening ears
As she tells me how much she loves
Her dancing children
She sings silent lullabies
Into my unconscious mind
While she cradles her lights,
Helping them loom their glow
Over the sleep willow trees.
The earth might grow cold
Under the shine of her moon
But her lovely lands
Will cover her like a blanket
As she gazes to her sky
Sometimes I hear the earth whisper
Short secrets into the moon's white mind
But she’s sure to stay hushed
As I dream of swimming in her castle clouds
The sky is glorious,
So we must always trust
The secure beauty
Of the galaxies that hold all life
In their safe cradles.
